fake news
Last week we learnt about fake news. There are some things we can look for to see if things are real or fake. If it was a fake website it probably wouldn't have https of fake name if you look closely. some websites might have links to other websites. Dont always trust one website go look on other sites as well otherwise you might be tricked. some people will ask for your pasword so they can hack you. they might say dear friend instead of your real name.

estimation time
Today in strand math we did a estimation work sheet first I estimated that writing to one hundred would take me 2 minutes but it took me 5 minutes and 6 seconds the difference is 3 minutes and 6 seconds. next I did reading a poem I estimated 2 minutes it took me 2 minutes and 30 seconds. then i did 30 star jumps i estimated 1 minute but it was actually 27 seconds.
my first estimate was not close my second was closer but my third was a little to fast.
the longest challenge was writing to 100.
I think I could improve on counting to a hundred.

moment in time moon landing
I go to the changing rooms and I struggle into my space suit. As i go to the in the tunnel to get to the rocket I look at my family standing by.
As we go in the air I feel the force pushing me down
I smell the rocket fuel as we blast into the blue sky in the rocket. I'm starting to shake like a loose screw. I feel like I'm in an indoor roller coaster. My face screws up with anxiousness.
So I unwrap some of my mums best cooking I scream ”Yay ” it's my favorite macaroni and cheese as I grab the fork it flies in the air and my buddy Buzz ate it as it flew over to him.
Three days later… “Boing” I wake up in fright I fall out of my sleeping bag. Luckily there is low gravity in space so I fall to the ground like a feather. I decide to look out my window and I see some sort of grey cheese thing.
I tell Buzz we go to the chamber and we put our helmets on i press the button on the wall the door closed behind us. Buz presses his button and the door in front of us opens. Oh my lord we say its the Moon!!! I walk over a bit and I shove the flag in the ground. Then
I jump “Woah”
I leaped like a leopard. Then I go to the moon crawler and I turn it on and I zoom around the planet. I go and take a sample of the moon. Then i go inside the rocket to go back we turn on the booster and poof we fall off the moon. It felt like I jumped off a cliff. We are going back down. Three days later… we feel a splash a voice comes over the radio. “DO NOT GET OUT OF THE ROCKET. We’re sending a ship to get you”
I felt happy I made it back, unlike the other missions.
Few. I am so relieved to be back home.

mission to mars
Mars is one of the closest planets to us if you would like to learn more read this information report.
Mars is 227936637.181 kilometers away from the sun.
Mars is named after the romon god of war, named mars. Mars was the most important god, behind jupiter.
Only 16 of the 39 missions to Mars have been successful. Because the rocket was going to fast.
The landmass of mars and earth are similar.
The surface of mars is made of rocks and red dust. Huge dust storms occur on mars.
The dust storms get rid of 10% of water on mars
Mars is named after mars the roman god of war. Mars is called the big red planet. Mars does have water its just in solid form known as ice.
I like mars because it would be cool to visit.
For the past week Mrs Williamson´s literacy group have been writing an information report. About a planet, i chose mars because its my favorite planet. And i thought i need to know more about mars.

rock paper scissors
I escaped the Scissor kingdom and I went to have a look at the beautiful flowers since I haven't seen them in a long, long time. Then out of nowhere I heard a rock break, and then a golem came from the cliff plunging to the ground at super speed “crash” he hit the ground and when he got up we made eye contact I think he was in love with me.
Then, he looked around and grabbed my arm. I looked down at his hand, it was rough, hard and crumbly!
He waved me to follow him, then shing. ̈ ̈Oh nö¨ I yelled, they sent a bounty hunter after me. Wait we're at a dead end I launch myself at him. He slices me i wake up in fright then I saw rocks head. I hugged the head of my hero and cried. Then, I took him home and put it on a shelf to remember him forever
And that's the last that was heard of me.

straw rafts
in inquiry with Mrs Mcg we are learning about the design process
the design process is where you plan design and test a product or theory. sometimes when you test and it doesn't work and you have to start from the beginning again to see how you would make it better. Mrs Mcg gave us a challenge. we had to plan design and build a straw raft to float with 40g of weight on it we could only use masking tape and straws our raft failed 5 times because of how we placed the straws we did some research about how rafts float I found it challenging because we couldn't get the raft to float

tribe alorius
A summons for food accidentally went terribly wrong.
Far far away there was a strange world. On this world there was a ferocious tribe and they spent their time slaying behemoths, or at least that's what the history books have recorded as there is no living Behemoth to tell us otherwise.
Time passes very strangely on this gigantic orb, records from this time show one hundred days passing as if it was a mere week. A summoner Mage put a spell on a chain to get some food and those chain-links slowly unwrapped and turned into a sea serpent. The cold-blooded beast was about to attack the tribe but someone from the tribe pressed a button
a titanium wall arose out of thin air. The sea serpent was smart so he dug under the titanium wall...
As the ferocious beast dug under the ground a trail of dirt followed like a moth following a bright light, as the beast was under the buildings they splintered in half as the window panes shattered.
The the tribe charged at the beast, the beast heaved itself out of the grassy terrain.
The beast got stabbed by a dozen spears that got dipped in the most toxic liquid the beast groand and fainted the tribe yelled in excitement ¨yay¨

Kindness
Today Puni-o-toka we learnt about kindness. first we got into groups of three and brain stormed ideas. Next we put our ideas on a big piece of paper. Last we wrote a poem about kindness.I found it easy to have fun but I found it hard to write the poem.
Kindness is making others days.
Kindness can be helping people up if they fall over.
Making people laugh will cheer them up.
Be a good sport if you win or lose a game.
Using people powers.
The people powers are make their day, choose a attitude, play, be there.
Respect others wishes.
Use manners.
Little can be huge.
